218 Wynter Will Perform as Usual
Margaret didn’t care about others‘ opinions, but schooling was a non–negotiable. Everything else could
wait, but knowledge could not.
Margaret disliked hearing people say that it would be useless for girls to study so much and that the
money should be spent on boys instead. If Wynter did well this time, she might actually get into a good
college.
Wynter hadn’t even washed up yet, but Margaret seemed to foresee a bright future for her. Her good
granddaughter shouldn’t have to be stuck in this small village, enduring the disdain of those people.
She should be allowed to break free.
“Wynter, listen to me. I’ll manage the store, and I won’t go easy on the Yates family either. Just focus
on your test and don’t stress.”
Wynter could tell how much Margaret valued this test, as the latter even put a four–leaf clover in her
pocket. It was a folk practice believed to bring good luck.
Wynter had originally planned to hide her abilities and aim for an average score. But now, she smiled
and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll perform as usual.”
Margaret had no idea that the last time Wynter performed as usual, she had helped someone win a
lawsuit, even sending the opposing lawyer to prison. Of course, this was all a secret.
Margaret woke up especially early to make pancakes paired with hash browns for Wynter. They were
crispy and fragrant.
“Eat slower,” Margaret said affectionately. “I’ve packed everything for you. Don’t ride your bike today.
Take a taxi. Got it?”
Wynter tied up her long hair and grabbed her bag. “Got it.”
Margaret watched her all leave. The neighbors all knew Wynter had a test today.
When Susan ran into her, she gave her a box of pre–cut apples and stewed tomato soup. ” The lunch
in the cafeteria isn’t good. Take this instead. It’s even insulated.”
“Thank you, Aunt Susan.” Wynter strode forward with her long legs as she said loudly, “I’ll fix your lamp
when I’m back after the test.”
All the elderly folk smiled as they watched her leave. Everyone knew she had been wronged. When
Margaret had trouble moving, they asked around at the police station and even submitted a joint
appeal.
They were ordinary people who usually bargained for groceries and took small advantages.

But when things went wrong, they would be united. Moreover, they really liked Wynter.

If Wynter could pass this test, wouldn’t their little village produce a college student? Except for Wynter
herself, everyone else was worried about the test for her.
Victor even brought Abel to school, having him review the key points with Wynter during lunch.
Originally, the plan was to review them over the past few days, but no one expected that trouble to
happen. Now they could only make up for the lost time.
Abel was annoyed. “Grandpa, she really doesn’t need me to review this with her.”
“Shut up! Are you so into the act?” Victor glared at him. “Why are you acting so afraid of a young lady?
Grow up.
Abel took a deep breath. He was really scared, but he knew no one would believe him. He always felt
that there was something evil about Wynter. Victor tiptoed to check. He feared that Wynter would be
late.
He didn’t know before, but when he looked at her report card, he realized her scores were barely hitting
20 in each subject. She had rarely been to school, and when she did, she was usually late.
Victor was afraid that the last time she scored well was because she just happened to do that set of
questions before the test and remembered it. At this thought, he couldn’t help but panic.
